Page 45:-
looking down upon the basin, the turmoil of the water appears
very interesting; and a little further on there is a good view of
Elterwater: but, as a picture, the fall is better seen from the
Lancashire side, where the Langdale Pikes, appearing between the
cheeks of the rock, make an excellent distance.

Colwith Force
|
|
|
COLWITH FORCE is a pretty waterfall; and is but little out of the
way, for those who make the tour through Little Langdale.
|
Birker Force
|
|
|
BIRKER FORCE, on the south side of Eskdale, is a stream of water
emitted between lofty rocks, and pouring from a great elevation
down the hill side in a stripe of foam.
|
Stanley Force
|
|
|
DALEGARTH FORCE, or Stanley Gill, on the same side of the valley,
is a sublime piece of scenery. From the ancient mansion of
Dalegarth Hall, now a farm house, a path has been formed,
crossing the stream from side to side, three times, by lofty
wooden bridges. The water falls, in successive cascades, over
granite rocks, which rise on each side to a stupendous height,
and are finely ornamented with trees, and fringed with a
profusion of bilberry, and other plants, rooted in the crevices.
|
Taylorgill Force
|
|
|
Near the head of the Seathwaite branch of Borrowdale, the water
from Sty-head Tarn is met by a dry gill called Taylor Gill; and
near their junction there is a lofty waterfall, which is a good
object from the road to Wasdale.
